Elteria Arena Legends
Created by Saralene




This is a collection of 3 RPG Maker XP games from my past of varying quality, Elteria Arena: Invitation from Darkness, Elteria Arena 2: Return to Courage, and the third game Mystery of the Miracle Dungeon.

These games were originally developed many, many years ago, with the first beginning development roughly 20 years ago in 2004. Please do not expect the absolute utmost of quality from them, especially the first game. However, I think that if you stick with them and can force your way past some of the default RPG Maker XP trappings, they are worth it as a whole -- especially the third game, which I believe is a reasonably fulfilling and varied dungeon-crawling experience. You will see some of the DNA of these games in a couple of my later games as well, which I will eventually release. These games were created entirely by me, but most of the assets in use are free assets or cheap edits. There's a few songs from other video games in there as well, since this is from the old, old days where I didn't take development of games nearly as seriously as I do today.

The story of the first two games follows an official combat tournament that soon goes awry, and then quickly turns to dungeon crawling with cliché excuse plots (and perhaps just a touch of cringe), with your choice of 8 main characters, along with some optional or secret additional party members. The story of the third game is pretty much entirely about exploring a large dungeon that has appeared in a city with a party of your choosing out of a cast of over 20 varied playable characters.

Interesting combat and balance is emphasized starting with the third game, although the first and second game are "okay" in terms of their gameplay, if very vanilla. Be sure to experiment with higher difficulty levels if you find them too easy. Dev commentary is also available newly in this latest version of the game. This is the the games' first public release in a decade as it is.

CORPSE-PARTY: Rebuilt+
Created by Corpse Party -rebuilded- team, based directly on CORPSE-PARTY by KenixSoft (later Team GrisGris/Grindhouse)
Enhanced version by Saralene




This is the definitive way to play the original PC-9801 CORPSE-PARTY if you don't know Japanese. (Although RPG Maker XP default sounds are still used for a bunch of things like they always were in Rebuilt. Maybe someday I'll get the PC-98 menu sound effects etc...)

This is not the same game as Corpse Party on Steam, PSP, 3DS, or other consoles. It is the original (and completely free!) PC-9801 horror game that game is a loose reimagining of.

For those who don't know CORPSE-PARTY, it's an RPG Maker game developed in RPG Maker Dante 98 for the NEC PC-9801, and arguably one of the most historically important RPG Maker games ever developed, alongside later important releases like Yume Nikki.

It got second place in one of ASCII's official contests and was published for free, and some of its influence can be surprisingly seen in many later horror and survival horror games (especially other RPG Maker titles), although it also owes a lot to Sweet Home for Famicom. It's about 1 to 3 hours long on a first playthrough and won't take up much of your time, and is an interesting little piece of gaming history.

The game has been enhanced with various graphical options, the ability to review the message log, and the ability to play the game with the original PC-98 graphics. I even restored the original Japanese RMXP fan port's midi-rendered music as an option, but I really can't recommend that. Use the PC-98 music unless you're very curious to hear how the Japanese RMXP version used to sound.

CORPSE-PARTY Zero (enhanced)
Created by Corpse Party Zero team
Enhanced version by Saralene




This is CORPSE-PARTY ZERO, fan prequel to the NEC PC-9801 RPG Maker horror game CORPSE-PARTY. It is considered somewhat canon by the original developers, and references to it exist in the later Corpse Party reimagining as well.

It's a significantly more complex story than CORPSE-PARTY, with several obscure endings and difficult-to-discover odds-and-ends. It's highly recommended to anyone who enjoys the original CORPSE-PARTY or Rebuilt+, but even though it's a prequel, I strongly recommend playing it after the original. I would expect a first playthrough to take you 2 to 4 hours due to how easy it is to get stuck or lost temporarily in this game.

The game has been enhanced with various graphical options, the ability to review the message log, and the ability to play the game with either the original MIDI music in its original Windows soundfont, or a more PC-98-styled rendition of the soundtrack. The new engine is almost identical to the one used in Rebuilt+, so you can find all of the same features here.
